8s from Famitsu means either Capcom's cheque didn't get to their offices on time, or it wasn't enough. :p
If the moneyhat wasn't full enough or didn't show up, getting a score above 30 out of Famitsu for a game people proclaimed would be the weakest of weaksauce for the series is still pretty unbelievable.

Not really. There's plenty of shit games that have scored that well or better.
 
Awesome Shiren info. I really hope that gets released in English.

I'm surprised by the UC scores too. I hope the game deserves it, cause I'll be playing it anyway and I would like to enjoy myself :lol

Absolutely pathetic part deux
Populus DS will be mine!

Sadly one of my most played Super Nintendo games was the half-assed version that came out for it

Also, I am glad that Umbrella Chronicles is considered to be good. Might buy new now.

The Persona fanatic in me is dying for this, even though it might turn out somewhat shitty.

They have a decent studio/cast working on the Persona anime. Then again, I said the same thing for the Devil May Cry anime... :lol

Wait, Twin Hearts? Did they change the title from "Tori no Hoshi ~Aerial Planet~"?

At least it has a release date now. I hope that if the title did change, they're not changing the game around too much...

Someone please bring over Wont Forgive You and Hayarigami 2 to NA.

Even for Famitsu standards, Im really disappointed with Resi Evil Umbrella Chronicles' score. Dead Aim got 2 points less only.

So whats the deal with that N1 RPG? PS3, DS, or what?

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.

Why does Nippon Ichi have an English site for Hayarigami up? Are they planning something for the series in the US?

http://nippon1.jp/consumer/torinohoshi/index2.html

Looks like we have an update to look forward to on Friday. The game's title is still Tori no Hoshi. Where did the name Twin Hearts come from?

Whoa! Nice catch there jiji, were any of the previous Hayarigami games in english on the websites??? Wow, could they be bringing this over?? *Prays*

A 1up translation of an interview with Kaz Hirai in Famitsu - talks about MH3, BC, cost reduction, and a quick look back on his brief time at the top so far.

Returning to Japan, I have done my best in the given limited amount of time. Not everything I envision has turned out 100% but we as a company have worked together towards our goals. We've had many that told us the lack of software and finally we are able to deliver them in both packaged and downloadable forms. For me it is like creating a story and most of it is going according to the story. Now we just have to accelerate towards the Holiday season and hope that the consumers would see that our story is an interesting one.

That Game Center game sounds great... definitely will import it. Just wish there were fansubs around of the actual Japanese TV show.

There's only one around, and it's of the Famicom Transformers episode. Here's a link.

Thanks! I'm gonna have to check it out... I've played Convoy no Nazo before, using a gratuitous amount of save states, and it's absolutely HORRIBLE, so this should be fun to watch!
